# Solve the following : A company decides to set aside a certain amount at the end of every year to create a sinking fund that should amount to ₹9,28,200 in 4 years at 10% - Mathematics and Statistics

Sum

Solve the following :

A company decides to set aside a certain amount at the end of every year to create a sinking fund that should amount to ₹9,28,200 in 4 years at 10% p.a. Find the amount to be set aside every year. [(1.1)4 = 1.4641]

#### Solution

Given, A = ₹9,28,200, n = 4 years, r = 10% p.a, i = "r"/(100) = (10)/(100) = 0.1

Now, A = "C"/"i"[(1 + "i")^"n" - 1]

∴ 9,28,200 = "C"/(0.1)[(1 + 0.1)^4 - 1]

∴ 9,28,200 x 0.1 = C[(1.1)4 – 1]
∴ 92,820 = C[1.4641 – 1]
∴ 92,820 = C(0.4641)
∴ C = (92,820)/(0.4641)
∴ C = ₹2,00,000
∴ The amount to be set aside each year is ₹2,00,000.
